Whisper
Night
I only write what I feel
No big deal
What kind it is , don't care
Who likes it who don't
Some people just won't
To get rich,
Don't have that ich
I try to make my words kind
All these words in my mind
I don't seek fame
Don't care if you know my name
It's all the same
What category does it fit
Will it be a hit
Am I wasting my time
Making these words rhyme
I am poor
Don't ask for more
My words are me
This you must see
I don't ask for much
Maybe someone's loving touch
But the words I write
Get me through the night
Would anyone even care
If my words I didn't share
I don't want you to cry
But soon I may die
I only want my words to forever live
To someone, the hope they may give
My life has been so very alone
Yet hope I have shown
So in my words I hide
I hope I've never lied
Though I have cried
I have always lost
Loneliness has always been the cost
My words bring a tear in my eye
I guess I cry
But I won't stop now
Can't remember how
So this lonely heart
May break apart
But my words save my soul
I have no secret goal
I wish I from this world I wouldn't hide
But I will confide
My word don't hold me tight
This dark cold night
But it's all I know
And my words show
Isolation from all
So the words that, from my head fall
Saves me from what I fear
The words I'll never hear
Spoken to me
Not that I can see
Just want to hear
I love you dear
Whispered in my ear
So I write
To get me through the night
So in my words I hide
So alone inside
But that's how it's always
Going to be
A smile I'll never see
